At the present juncture, the region is experiencing a geopolitical churn of major magnitude  caused by the simultaneous and rapid rise of several Asian powers such as India, China, Russia,  South Korea, Japan and Australia, and their interfaces with the established global hyperpower,  the USA. None of this would be unduly worrisome were it not for the short shrift being given  by the leadership of the People’s Republic of China to the consensually derived conventions,  principles, rules, norms, and comity, which collectively define the normal engagement process of  nations with one another, and which is commonly referred-to as a ‘rules-based order’. Through their eleventh annual deliberations, the NMF and the CNA will jointly  endeavour to provide policy-makers in India and the US with as many prioritised  options-of-choice whose regional impacts will be regionally beneficial, mutually supportive, and  reciprocally reinforcing, thereby visibly strengthening a rules-based order upon which a free and  open Indo-Pacific may be sustained. Towards this end, the two partner organisations intend to  leverage their respective and joint expertise in the maritime domain in order to determine fresh  approaches and initiatives that would expand the operational relationship and coordination  between the Indian and US navies, and identify specific security-assistance and security cooperation measures with the highest assessed-potential for bilateral as well as regional  acceptance and success. This is a closed door dialogue. Entry is through invitation only, strictly limited to Indian or USA nationals only.   Programme Details: Day-1: 18 November 2020 (New Delhi), 17 November 2020 (Washington DC & Hawaii) 0630-0645 IST 15 min Log-in to Cisco Webex using Registration-details and Individual Password 1500-1515 HST 2000-2015 EDT 0700-0705 IST 05 min Welcome Remarks & Introduction of Chairpersons VAdm Pradeep Chauhan AVSM & Bar, VSM, IN (Retd) DG NMF 1530-1535 HST 2030-2035 EDT 0705-0715 IST 10 min Opening Remarks Adm Sunil Lanba, PVSM, AVSM, IN (Retd) Chairman, NMF Former Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS), Indian Navy 1535-1545 HST 2035-2045 EDT 0715-0725 IST 10 min Opening Remarks Mr Robert N Hein, Director, Plans and Policy, COMPACFLT N5 1545-1555 HST 2045-2055 EDT 0725-0730 IST 05 min Introduction to Panel 1 Theme (Environment Scan) Mr Satyam Shekhar Programme Executive, NMF The Biodata of Panellists would be sent in advance and will not be read out 1555-1600 HST 2055-2100 EDT 0730-0745 IST 15 min Fleshing-out the Maritime-Security Pillar of the IPOI   Ms Aneedrisha Hazarika, Associate Fellow, NMF 1600-1615 HST 2100-2115 EDT 0745-0800 IST 15 min Maritime Expectations of the QUAD Dr Jeffrey Becker, Director, Indo-Pacific Security Program, CNA 1615-1630 HST 2115-2130 EDT 0800-0815 IST 15 min Contesting China’s   Maritime /Strategic Constriction: US-India Options Capt Sarabjeet Parmar, IN, Executive Director, NMF 1630-1645 HST 2130-2145 EDT 0815-0830 IST 15 min Audience Interaction Moderated by Mr Satyam Shekhar Programme Executive, NMF       1645-1700 HST 2145-2200 EDT 0830-0835 IST 05 min Introduction to Panel 2 Theme (Options vis-a-vis China) Dr Jeffrey Becker, Director, Indo-Pacific Security Program, CNA The Biodata of Panellists would be sent in advance and will not be read out 1700-1705 HST 2200-2205 EDT 0835-0850 IST 15 min An Assessment of China’s Maritime Vulnerabilities RADM (ret.)
